I took this picture at Tipperary Races during 2010 at the final Fence on the course. The Jockey and Horse in this incident were okay after, although in another race, two horses were injured and had to be destroyed. { The sad side of Horse Racing } I was using a 1d Mk3 and 24-105L lens. The nearside Fence Rail is a bit of a distraction, but the picture was for Press and so not manipulated.
Comments Welcome of course..

Well captured Andy, I dont like horseracing I feel so sorry for the horses
being whacked unmercifully and expected to jump fences, the jockeys have
a choice the horses dont :cry: But that has nothing to do with your shot
which captures the moment well!
